4:00 am, Liana Li, 11 is up editing a new hairstyle video for her Youtube channel. As a first year staffer, Liana loves the video aspect of Yearbook.
By 7:00 am she is up doing her makeup with her bold brows and bright highlighter. She gets dressed and adds her favorite accessory; heeled boots, “ I’m really short and I wanna be taller,” she said.
After a long day of school Liana heads to her dance practice at 6:00 pm. She was formerly a gymnast for 11 years but now has moved on to dancing with the DEBS. “Gymnastics is obviously a team sport, but you compete individually. Being a part of DEBS you actually get to dance, compete together, and really be a team.”
9:30 pm and she is just starting her homework. “I want to go to college for performing arts.”
The end of the day and she’s so exhausted she falls asleep in her bed just to wake up the next day and do it all again.

Meikle, who was an Editor-in-Chief for the yearbook last year as well, holds both and stands at the center of the group. “That was an amazing feeling, going and grabbing the third place award,” Meikle said. “All of it paid off. I cried so much over that book, being able to receive [the award] was one of the highlights of my high school career, it was like the coolest thing ever.”](https://wlhsnow.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/8bookpose_philly-1200x800.jpg)
![At the bottom of the third inning, the Lions are still scoreless. Rowe stands at home plate, preparing to bat, while Vandenbrink stands off to the side as the next batter up. Despite having the bases loaded, the team was unable to score any runs. “It’s just the beginning of the season. We’re just going to be playing out best by June, [and] that’s where champions are,” Rowe said.](https://wlhsnow.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/IMG_3077-1200x900.jpg)
